Water Damage Restoration in Barrington, RI
Barrington is the suburb at the top of the East Bay, between the Barrington River, the Warren River, Hundred Acre Cove, and Narragansett Bay, and about 17,000 people live here. The town grew as a streetcar and then a commuter suburb of Providence, so its housing is 1920s and 1930s colonials near the village, capes and ranches from the 1950s and 1960s across the middle of town, and older summer houses turned year-round on the points at Nayatt, Rumstick, and Bay Spring.
Water is on every side. Route 114, the town's evacuation route, already floods on a high tide with a storm behind it. If Hurricane Carol came through again as it did on August 31, 1954, close to half the town's land would be under water. Inland, the mid-century houses on block basements take groundwater in a wet spring, and sixty-year-old plumbing fails at the fittings.
This site puts Barrington homeowners through by phone to an independent local water damage provider who works the East Bay every week.
Barrington water damage from the points to the postwar streets
Bay or river water in a house on one of the points is a storm surge and coastal flood cleanup. A wet basement after a spring rain starts with water extraction and continues with structural drying. A corroded fitting or a failed washer hose is burst pipe water damage.
The town hall on County Road and the library next door
Rebuild permits go through the Town of Barrington at 283 County Road, which also keeps the town's hazard mitigation and flood plan. The Barrington Public Library next door at 281 County Road holds the town's local history collection, which is where the storm photographs from 1938 and 1954 live.
Call (401) 560-5802 and say whether the water came from the bay, the ground, or a pipe. We put you through to an independent local water damage provider serving Barrington.
Services Available in Barrington
Water Extraction
Standing water pulled off wide pine boards, tile, brick, and dirt cellar floors on any level of an old Newport house, then the first moisture readings.
Structural Drying
Air movers and dehumidifiers run by daily readings until plaster, lath, old timber, and subfloor come back to dry numbers in salt air.
Storm Surge and Coastal Flood Cleanup
Harbor or bay water that came in during a nor'easter or hurricane pumped out, contaminated material removed, and the ground floor dried.
Stone Cellar Flooding Cleanup
Water pumped out of a fieldstone or rubble cellar, the source traced to a joint, a drain, or the tide, and the stone and framing above it dried.
Frozen Pipe Cleanup
Cleanup after a supply line froze in an uninsulated wall, a crawl space, or a shut-up summer house and split, then drying of what the thaw soaked.
Burst Pipe Water Damage
A failed supply line, corroded fitting, or split radiator line shut off, the water pulled out, and the floors and plaster below it dried.
Roof Leak and Ice Dam Water Damage
Wet attic insulation, plaster ceilings, and walls dried after a slate slipped, an ice dam backed up at the eave, or a nor'easter drove rain under the flashing.
Ceiling Water Damage Repair
A stained, sagging, or dropped plaster ceiling opened, the cavity above it dried, and the source found before anyone patches it.
